The climate crisis is the existential threat of our lives. I was recently trained in the science of climate change by former Vice President Al Gore, Chairman of the Climate Reality Project. The Climate Reality Project is a grassroots network of more than 20,000 trained leaders who live and work all over the world. I deliver presentations at Chambers of Commerce, Rotary Clubs, schools, homes, places of worship, and government forums. These presentations are free of charge.

As a business leader, you want to attract customers, talent, and capital to your business. But how? In a recent survey, Nielsen found that customers, employees, and investors all want to do business with companies that make a social impact. * 66% of respondents will pay extra for products and services from companies committed to positive social and environmental impact. And, among Gen Z, those born after 1995, 72% will spend more on cause-based products. * 67% of those surveyed prefer to work for socially responsible companies. * 59% of investors want to invest in companies that have a social mission. How can you tell your stories of corporate social responsibility in a way that attracts customers, talent, and capital?
